Every Dog Has Its Day Flogging Molly

Well, I've drunk to drown on every ocean I've been
Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim
Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen's Land
Well, I drank with the Sultan down the Suez Canal

'Cause every dog has its day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if there's a ship that sails tonight
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you

Well, there was old Jerry Rooney, who was mad as a mule
Spillblood Maloney had a head like one too
That night on the bridge with my shovel in hand
Well, he threatened to kill me, for sure he picked the wrong man

'Cause every dog has its day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if there's a ship that sails tonight
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you

Well, there was mutiny in Lagos aboard the mean ship skandi
Ten or twelve days in prison till the bastards set me free
McCloskey you're free

'Cause every dog has its day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if there's a ship that sails tonight
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you
